Slowing Down and Speeding Up

In the past few months since coming to Camp Sozo we have removed a lot of things from our daily lives, but that doesn't mean our pace has slowed down.  We no longer have television, so we just watch movies together as a family when we have the time.  We no longer have internet in our home so we are not on Facebook and other sites as much.  Luckily we have internet in the office so we can keep in touch more often.  We are also no longer just a few minutes from shopping and school and, so we rarely go anywhere.  At first I think this was a shock to the system, and it took a few weeks to figure out what to do with any spare time we may have.  Now we get a chance to enjoy each other's company and the peace and quiet that surrounds us. The kids spend a good chunk of their time outside and we spend a good chunk of our time with them. 

It was hard to understand that we were missing out on anything since we were so busy filling our time with other things.  My time with the Lord is becoming my most precious part of the day, and our time with the kids is better spent.  I would encourage any one to take some time to get away from the things that are time stealers in your life. 

Even though we are learning the value of our time together, we are very busy as well.  With camps and missions teams coming in and our church being envolved in so much outreach we are at full speed ahead here.  We usually have early mornings and long days.  Summer is only 8 weeks away which will add a whole new dynamic as well, the kids will be at home all day and the ministrie'
s mentor center kids will be here most of the time for day camp.  It should be a ton of fun for everyone. 

Please keep us in your prayers.  I am personally endeavoring to get our ministry "on the map" so to speak with new marketing and promotional ideas.  Jason and I are both getting ready to launch some new things with our youth group, and we have many fundraising events coming for all the summer missions trips. Also continue to pray for our finances.  We are looking for monthly sponsors.  As little as $10 a month would be a blessing.  Our monthly expenses are not huge, but there is still a need.  Please follow the instructions below if you are interested.

We love being a part of such an active and loving ministry.  We are learning more and more every day what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
